BIO-INTEGRATED FARM, THE

The Bio-Integrated Farm is a twenty-first-century manual for managing nature’s resources. This groundbreaking book brings 'system farming' and permaculture to a whole new level. Author Shawn Jadrnicek presents new insights into permaculture, moving beyond the philosophical foundation to practical advanced designs based on a functional analysis. Holding his designs to a higher standard, Jadrnicek’s components serve at least seven functions (classical permaculture theory only seeks at least two functions). With every additional function a component performs, the design becomes more advanced and saves more energy.
